A lot of what can pass as incompetence can also be malicious. Not entirely for the reasons (we mortals) feel are reasonable or achievable. Kasab or his handlers knew that 26/11 will not result in Ghazwa but that did not deter them for brutally murdering hundreds of people. Similarly, what we pass of...

Closest point from UK/Germany to Russia (Kaliningrad) is 1500kms/500km, if we consider the distance between mainland Russia and UK/Germany (1000km/200km). No wonder Germany is more cautious than UK in proposing more arms supply.
